Some things aren't worth the pain. It's being unable to explain what exactly turns me off that bothers me. I just can't shake the feeling that I should be liking it when I end up throwing in the towel. Just weird. Anyways I've been going gestalt for the last couple of games and can confirm Sword Saint/Inspired Blade is bonkers.

Then that's 10s or even 100s of hours saved. I would disagree with the mod I linked taking down difficulty to casual, all it really does is automate your existing out of combat buffing and I don't believe that it can be used in combat. The problem is the structural gap between a pre-buff routine and a nekkid party, and it seems the game is designed assuming pre-buffing. ...but that is a technical quibble and I agree with the thrust of your post, a substantial amount of combat is decided on the spreadsheet rather than the battlefield. Stacking your stats up to the stratosphere is going to be substantially more effective than tactics in winning the majority of battles, which are definitely more simple than the SCS stuff or even GBA era Fire Emblem. If you want to play on story or casual from the start instead of having to be a part-time manager go ahead man, people should play games how they like. I gave PoE a second chance after playing WotR for the first and managed to beat it, but I got burned out by Deadfire. Despite being more componently made and definitely better looking, I just struggle to get into the PoE games. I can't quite articulate why, but they just don't grab me and eventually it feels more like a chore than something I actually enjoy. Somehow, the shoddily assembled jalopy game works better for me. Go figure.

The late-game crusade meetings are something else. To be EEEEVILLLLLLLLL. I kind of want to do it someday, maybe on a swarm run if I ever bother with that, as sort of a meme playthrough to see what happens if "I don't like you. DIE!" was picked every time.

That's quite the downfall. You gonna merge spellbooks?

Henry Kissinger?

That's not fair, Zon-Kuthon showed up to do a devil's bargain with some horse breeders. I hated Diplomacy because the dumb fox lady wouldn't let me do my job. Daeran is indeed the mvp of advisors though, Wolijiff doing a ponzi scheme is also on point.

Yes.

Unfortunately if it's pnp accurate, we can't hurt anyone when time has stopped. He's a gnome now.

Then she's not that smart because in most non-sekrit endings Deskari doesn't die and in at least three endings the Worldwound stays open (and even expands for one). Really it's just plot **** and shouldn't be read into anymore than that. I'll guarantee that BG3 will be a mess for quite a long time. No horny vampire yet. My Lich is going to be power hungry from the start, rp'd as someone who came in search of power above all. I don't like making the Lich a skelly, I much prefer the decaying or preserved but clearly undead Lich aesthetics. It sets it apart from other undead and is more unsettling imo. I do like Arazni's more recent design but she's more of an outright goddess now so I went with classic Lich Queen art as an example. And you know who else was an anime undead monster who raised an army of the dead? Too bad Time Stop isn't in the game. No ZA WARUDO for my Lich.

I think the idea is that Iomedae outright killing Deskarii herself would unite the Abyss by providing them with a common enemy, and that in turn would get all the other gods and planes to jump in. Honestly it's not very convincing because some of the other gods and planes are already involved on some way or another....and because Aroden already did it back when he was still around. At the end of the day it's just an excuse to have your party deal with it instead. Anyways.....I found a mod for a Swashbuckler with the Rostland Bravo archetype. This is bad news for the Aldori Defender, who now has competition for the classic "While you were getting mythic power I studied the blade" builds. And after several rerolls I think I got my Lich down and will finally play an evil necromancer. I kinda want to do the silly little cat romance because

I think that was the first thing that got moded out lmao. Uh...I'm not convinced by the bear sex or edgelord origin but I'll probably play the game months after it releases and it's less buggy. I'll probably go with a College of Valor Bard.

Armenia.

I'm just going to stick with Uncle Dio and The Beasttamer who met a Catgirl From the Strongest Race.

Isekai has gone too far.

Enough to design a law specifically to target it. Construction is big business here and Perry Homes is a major Republican donor. However given the law's broad scope, it's more of an attempt to prevent cities and counties from doing anything in regards to business than taking out this regulation specifically. It's not a surprise, the large cities have been trending away from conservative politics for a while and are also where the majority of business happens, so the Texas legislature is trying to nip any "business unfriendly" regulations in the bud by preemptively blocking cities from doing them in the first place. Assuming the Death Star stands the results are going to be pretty bad, the state of the electric grid two years after an apocalyptic freeze showed how vulnerable it was is enough reason not to trust the Texas government at managing anything.

https://www.texasobserver.org/texans-die-from-heat-exhaustion-after-governor-bans-water-breaks/ As someone who works a job where I am outside for a significant amount of time, I can guarantee that this "Death Star" ban on mandated water breaks is going to result in people dying. The political ghouls and their business backers behind this will have blood on their hands and deserve to burn in hell.

Around here it's guaranteed to have fireworks being shot off (barring rain) as soon as fireworks are able to be sold and maybe a week after. I could deal with it if they stopped at 11 but they like to push it till the am. At least it wasn't until 3am like July 5th.

I'm trying not to commit war crimes here.

I think so. I never watched it.

If I had more disposable income I'd buy a lot of fireworks to setoff over the rest of the week in retaliation for being kept up all damn night before I have to go into work. Call me crazy, but it makes more sense to set off fireworks on July 3rd or the midnight of the 4th like you would for New Years. Let me enjoy a day off instead of waking up exhausted for work. Somewhat relevant, but my phone's has started giving me a moisture alarm whenever it's plugged into my vehicle. Tested with different cables and another phone to make sure, unfortunately the issue is definitely with the phone itself. So any firework money gets to go to a new phone instead of petty revenge against neighbors. Oh well.

There's already been a live action JoJo. Not by Netflix, but it looks like it's in the same tier as the live action Sailor Moon @majestic was watching.

This post gets scarier as it goes on. Uncle DIO needs to nuke Netflix adaptations and chatgpt next season. I watched The Bear season 2. Which is good, it was a nice move to have the entire season being dedicated to renovating and opening a restaurant instead of doing a montage episode. The Christmas episode is probably one of the best episodes of television period, but Bob Odenkirk as an **** and Jamie Lee Curtis having a break down are very enjoyable watches.
